I've also tested Bryce's non-xcb libs and they also fix my Matlab issues completely. They also fix my Maple issues, which is reasonable as both packages share a Java foundation in their GUI. I bet this fixes bugs with many other software packages too.

I hope the non-xcb backed X11 libraries go back into Hardy, especially as it's a LTS release. Installing Hardy and finding many packages break is quite disconcerting. I'm not sure how many applications use xcb and X11 together, but surely sacrificing the stability of older applications isn't worth it just to run a few xcb+x11 mixed programs.
